Wood Carving Supplies
Wood carving can be a fun and rewarding craft for advanced and novice artists alike. There is nothing like the feeling of turning a hunk of material into something meaningful that you can display in your own home, give as a gift, or even sell for a profit. However, in addition to the skills needed for this craft, one must also have the right wood carving supplies.
The possibilities of turning a piece of wood into a sculpture or figurine are endless. Prior to selecting the right tools, it is good to have a plan for exactly what you want to make. Making skectches or even taking pictures of the image you would like to sculpt puts a visual image in your head that will keep you on track when the carving begins. Also, before selecting supplies, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the different types of wood carving such as chip carving, relief carving, treen, and whittling. Last, but certainly not least, before choosing carving supplies, you need to find the right kind of wood.
The most basic tool for carving wood is the carving knife. These knives come in many different shapes, sizes, and blade angles, all used for different types of cutting, paring, and smoothing wood. Many of the blades are specialized for longevity in wood carving and handles specialized for ease of handling. Always take the time and do the research to find the best knife for your particular project.
Another useful tool is the gouge. This is basically a carving tool with a curved cutting edge used in carving hollows, rounds, and sweeping curves in wood. Just like regular carving knives, gouges come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and angles. Study your plans closely when selecting the right variety of tools like gouges; it is important to look at relative proportions, that is, the size of a cut or groove compared to the size of other cuts and the size of the entire object.
Another tool, the chisel, has a straight cutting edge used for cutting lines and cleaning up flat surfaces. Chisels can also be used for wedging and are often paired with hammers for being driven into the wood. Once again, choosing the right kind is important. In addition to size, there are many varieties to choose from such as the butt, carving, corner, and framing chisels. Remeber: study your plans and do the reseach before choosing a specific tool.
As your project advances, you may realize that the tools you have are not sufficient for a particular task. You may eventually realize the need for more specialized tools such a V-tool, a veiner, or a router. Remember that there is a type of tool for every type of cut you can imagine; just do the research and you'll find that special tool you need. You may also find a mallet and special screw for holding your project to a table handy additions to your wood carving supplies.

What does "to turn" mean in woodwork?
Like "turning" a table leg out of pine? Does it mean to carve or something else?
It has to do with using a lathe. A lathe is a tools that uses a high speed electric motor. By means of special tooling a piece of wood is attached between the shaft of the motor and tooling on the other end that enable the wood to be spun. Once the wood is spinning, or "turning," other types of sharp cutters and blades are applied to strip the would away as it turns. By adjusting the tools you can create things like a table leg very quickly. Lathes are used in steel manufacture as well.
